PROXY STATEMENT

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
FOR THE
2015 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON APRIL 29, 2015

SUMMARY OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT

        The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of BioTelemetry, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("BioTelemetry" or the "Company"), for use at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held on April 29, 2015, at 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time, at the Radnor Hotel located at 591 East Lancaster Avenue, St. Davids, Pennsylvania, 19087, and any and all adjournments or postponements thereof. This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card, along with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, are being mailed to our stockholders on or about March 24, 2015. You are receiving a proxy statement and proxy card from us because our records indicate that you owned shares of our common stock on March 11, 2015, the record date for the meeting.

        Our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to be used at the annual meeting. When you sign the proxy card, you appoint Joseph H. Capper and Peter Ferola as your representatives at the annual meeting. One or both of these individuals, or a substitute if necessary, will vote your shares at the annual meeting as you have instructed them on the proxy card. If you sign and deliver your proxy card, but you do not provide voting instructions, your proxy representative will vote "FOR" each of the two nominees for director listed in Proposal One, "FOR" Proposal Two, and with respect to any other matter that may be presented at the annual meeting, in the discretion of the proxy representative. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the annual meeting. Even if you plan to attend the annual meeting, we recommend that you complete, sign and return your proxy card in advance of the annual meeting as your plans may change.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT OUR ANNUAL MEETING

Why am I receiving these materials?

        We have sent you this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card because the Board of Directors of BioTelemetry is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, including at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. You are invited to attend the annual meeting to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. However, you do not need to attend the meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card.

        We intend to mail this proxy statement and accompanying proxy card on or about March 24, 2015 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

Table of Contents

What matters am I being asked to vote upon?

        At the annual meeting you will be asked to vote on the following two proposals. Our Board's recommendation for each of these proposals is set forth below:

        We will also consider other business that properly comes before the meeting, and any adjournment or postponement of the meeting, in accordance with Delaware law and our Bylaws.

Who can vote at the annual meeting?

        Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 11, 2015, our record date, will be entitled to vote at the annual meeting. On this record date, there were 26,928,460 shares of BioTelemetry common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

        If your shares were registered directly in your name with BioTelemetry's transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, on the record date, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

        If your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization on the record date, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the annual meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the annual meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

How do I vote?

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

        If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the annual meeting or vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the meeting and vote in person even if you have already voted by proxy.

•

To vote in person, come to the annual meeting and we will give you a ballot when you arrive.



•

To vote using the proxy card, simply complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the annual meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

        If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from BioTelemetry. Simply complete and mail the proxy card to ensure that your vote is submitted to your broker or bank. Alternatively, you may vote as instructed by your broker or bank. To vote in person at the annual meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank, or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a proxy form.

How many votes do I have?

        On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of BioTelemetry Common Stock you own as of March 11, 2015.

What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

        If you return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted "FOR" the election of the two nominees listed in Proposal One, and "FOR" the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2015 (Proposal Two).

What happens if additional matters are presented at the 2015 Annual Meeting?

        Other than the items of business described in this proxy statement, we are not aware of any business to be presented for action at the annual meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy representatives, Joseph H. Capper and Peter Ferola, or either of them, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting in accordance with Delaware law and our Bylaws.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

        BioTelemetry will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

        If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, sign and return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Are proxy materials available on the Internet?

        This proxy statement and our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 are available at http://www.Biotelinc.com in the "Investors" section.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

        Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

•

You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date;

Table of Contents

•

You may send a timely written notice that you are revoking your proxy to BioTelemetry's Secretary at 1000 Cedar Hollow Road, Suite 102, Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355; or



•

You may attend the annual meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If your shares are held by your broker or bank as a nominee or agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker or bank.

What is the quorum requirement and why is it necessary?

        A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the annual meeting are present at the meeting in person or represented by proxy. On the record date, there were 26,928,460 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, the holders of 13,464,231 shares must be present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting or by proxy to have a quorum.

        Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the holders of a majority of shares present at the meeting in person or represented by proxy or the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another date.

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

        The table below sets forth the number of votes needed for each proposal on the ballot to pass.

What are "broker non-votes"?

        Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed "non-routine." Generally, if shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares. If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker or nominee can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are considered to be "routine," but not with respect to "non-routine" matters. Under the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") rules and interpretations, other than the proposal to approve the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP (Proposal Two), none of the proposals described in this proxy statement relate to "routine" matters. As a result, a broker will not be able to vote your shares with respect to Proposal One absent your voting instructions. Broker non-votes are included in the calculation of the number of votes considered to be present at the meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but are not counted as votes cast with respect to a matter on which the nominee has expressly not voted.

How will broker non-votes and abstentions affect the proposals?

        For each proposal that you will be asked to vote upon, the table below describes (i) whether brokers will vote your shares absent instructions from you and (ii) the impact of broker non-votes and abstentions on such proposal.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the annual meeting?

        Preliminary voting results will be announced at the annual meeting. Final voting results will be reported by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the annual meeting.

Who should I call with other questions?

PROPOSAL ONE:
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        The number of members of our Board of Directors is currently set at eight members and is divided into three classes, each of which has a three-year term. Class I consists of three directors, Class II consists of two directors and Class III consists of two directors. Currently, there is one vacancy in the Class III directors. We are seeking to identify individuals to fill this vacancy. Vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled only by persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors. A director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy in a class, including vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors, shall serve for the remainder of the full term of that class and until the director's successor is elected and qualified.

        The term of office of the Class II directors currently expires at the 2015 Annual Meeting. We are nominating Kirk E. Gorman and Anthony J. Conti for re-election at the 2015 Annual Meeting to serve for a three-year term.

        Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. The two nominees receiving the most "FOR" votes (among votes properly cast in person or by proxy) will be elected. If no contrary indication is made, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted "FOR" the election of the two nominees named above or, if any nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, "FOR" the election of a substitute nominee designated by our Board of Directors. Each nominee has agreed to serve as a director if elected, and we have no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.

        The following is a brief biography for our nominees for Class II directors and each person whose term of office as a Class I or Class III director will continue after the annual meeting.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

INDEPENDENCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

        The NASDAQ Listing Standards require that a majority of our Board of Directors and all members of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee be comprised of directors who are "independent," as such term is defined by Rule 5605(a)(2) of NASDAQ's Marketplace Rules. Each year, the Board undertakes a review of director independence, which includes a review of each director's responses to questionnaires asking about any relationships with us. This review is designed to identify and evaluate any transactions or relationships between a director or any member of his immediate family and us, or members of our senior management or other members of our Board of Directors, and all relevant facts and circumstances regarding any such transactions or relationships.

        Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, in early 2015 the Board of Directors affirmatively determined that the following directors are "independent": Messrs. Ahrens, Conti, Frick and Gorman, Ms. Rimel and Dr. Rubin. In making this determination, the Board of Directors found that none of these directors or nominees for director had a material or other disqualifying relationship with the Company. Mr. Capper, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, is not an independent director by virtue of his employment with the Company.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE AND ROLE IN OVERSIGHT OF RISK

        Our Board of Directors' leadership structure is currently composed of an independent Chairman of the Board of Directors, an independent Audit Committee Chairman, an independent Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairman, and an independent Compensation Committee

Table of Contents

Chairman. Kirk E. Gorman has served as a member of our Board of Directors since August of 2008 and the Chairman of our Board of Directors since October 2011.

        Our Board of Directors recognizes the importance of effective risk oversight in running a successful business, and in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities to BioTelemetry and its stockholders. While the Chief Executive Officer, the General Counsel and other members of our senior leadership team are responsible for the day-to-day management of risk, our Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that an appropriate culture of risk management exists within the Company and for setting the right "tone at the top," overseeing our aggregate risk profile, and assisting management in addressing specific risks, such as strategic and competitive risks, financial risks, brand and reputation risks, legal risks, regulatory risks and operational risks.

        Our Board of Directors believes that its current leadership structure best facilitates its oversight of risk by combining independent leadership, through the independent chairman, independent board committees, and majority independent board composition. The Chairman, independent committee chairs, and other independent directors also are experienced professionals or executives who can and do raise issues for board consideration and review. Our Board of Directors believes there is a well-functioning and effective balance between the independent Chairman and non-executive board members, which enhances risk oversight.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

        The Board of Directors met 12 times during the year ended December 31, 2014. All directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board of Directors and of the committees on which they served, held during the period for which they were directors or committee members. The independent members of the Board of Directors generally meet in executive session at each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board.

        It is BioTelemetry's policy to invite directors and nominees for director to attend the annual meeting. All of our directors then in office attended our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

INFORMATION REGARDING COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

        During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Board of Directors of BioTelemetry maintained three committees; the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The following table provides membership information for each of the committees of the Board of Directors as of March 11, 2015:

        Below is a description of each committee of the Board of Directors as such committees have been constituted during the year ended December 31, 2014, and are presently constituted. The Board of Directors has determined that each current member of each committee meets the applicable SEC and NASDAQ rules and regulations regarding "independence", including the enhanced independence

requirements for audit committee members required by Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and that each member is free of any relationship that would impair his or her individual exercise of independent judgment with regard to the Company.

Audit Committee

        The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors was established by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act to oversee the Company's corporate accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of its financial statements. The Board of Directors has adopted an Audit Committee Charter which is available on our website under the "Investors" section at http://www.Biotelinc.com.

        Typically, the Compensation Committee meets quarterly and with greater frequency if necessary. The agenda for each meeting is usually developed by the Chair of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee meets regularly in executive session. However, from time to time, various members of management and other employees as well as outside advisors or consultants may be invited by the Compensation Committee to make presentations, provide financial or other background information or advice or otherwise participate in Compensation Committee meetings. The Chief Executive Officer may not participate in or be present during any deliberations of the Compensation Committee regarding his compensation. The charter of the Compensation Committee grants the Compensation Committee full access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the Company, as well as authority to obtain, at the expense of the Company, advice and assistance from internal and external legal, accounting or other advisors and consultants and other external resources that the Compensation Committee considers necessary or appropriate in the performance of its duties.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        As indicated above, Mr. Ahrens, Ms. Rimel and Mr. Frick currently serve, and previously served during 2014, as members of the Compensation Committee. No member of the Compensation Committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of the Company. None of our officers currently serves, or has served during the last completed year, on the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors of any other entity that has one or more officers serving as a member of the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of three directors, Dr. Rubin, Mr. Ahrens and Ms. Rimel. Ms. Rimel was appointed to the committee to replace Dr. Prystowsky, who retired in 2014. Dr. Rubin is currently the Chairman of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. During 2014, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met two times. The Board of Directors has adopted a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter which is available on our website under the "Investors" section at http://www.Biotelinc.com.

        The functions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include, among other things:

•

identifying, reviewing and evaluating candidates to serve on our Board of Directors consistent with criteria approved by our Board of Directors;



•

determining the minimum qualifications for service on our Board of Directors;

13

Table of Contents

•

evaluating director performance on the Board of Directors and applicable committees of the Board of Directors and determining whether continued service on our Board of Directors is appropriate;



•

reviewing, evaluating and recommending individuals for membership on our Board of Directors;



•

evaluating nominations by stockholders of candidates for election to our Board of Directors;



•

considering and assessing the independence of members of our Board of Directors;



•

developing, as appropriate, a set of corporate governance policies and principles, including a code of business conduct and ethics and reviewing and recommending to our Board of Directors any changes to such policies and principles;



•

periodically reviewing with our Chief Executive Officer the succession plans for the office of Chief Executive Officer and for other key executive officers, and making recommendations to our Board of Directors of appropriate individuals to succeed to these positions;



•

considering questions of possible conflicts of interest of directors as such questions arise;



•

reviewing the adequacy of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter on a periodic basis; and



•

reviewing and evaluating, at least annually, the performance of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including the ability to read and understand basic financial statements, being over 21 years of age and having the highest personal integrity and ethics. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also intends to consider such factors as possessing relevant expertise upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management, having sufficient time to devote to the affairs of the Company, demonstrated excellence in his or her field, having the ability to exercise sound business judgment and having the commitment to rigorously represent the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee retains the right to modify these qualifications from time to time. Candidates for director nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of the Board of Directors, the operating requirements of the Company and the long-term interests of stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers diversity, age, skills, and such other factors as it deems appropriate given the current needs of the Board of Directors and the Company, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability.

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee places a high priority on identifying individuals with diverse skill sets and types of experience including identification of individuals from among the medical professional and medical device communities. In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews these directors' overall service to the Company during their terms, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any other relationships and transactions that might impair the directors' independence. In the case of new director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also determines whether the nominee is independent for NASDAQ purposes, which determination is based upon applicable NASDAQ listing standards, applicable SEC rules and regulations and the advice of counsel, if necessary. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee then uses its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the

14

Table of Contents

Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider the candidates' qualifications and then selects a nominee by majority vote.

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not intend to alter the manner in which it evaluates candidates, including the minimum criteria set forth above, based on whether or not the candidate was recommended by a stockholder. Stockholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to become nominees for election to the Board of Directors may do so by delivering a written recommendation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at the following address: 1000 Cedar Hollow Road, Suite 102, Malvern, PA 19355, Attn: Secretary. Submissions must be made in a timely manner as set forth in our Bylaws and include the full name of the proposed nominee, a description of the proposed nominee's business experience for at least the previous five years, complete biographical information, a description of the proposed nominee's qualifications as a director and the name of the nominating stockholder, a representation that the nominating stockholder is a beneficial or record holder of the Company's stock and has been a holder for at least one year. Any such submission must be accompanied by the written consent of the proposed nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all officers, directors and employees, which was amended and updated to reflect current business practice and industry regulation on January 22, 2009.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

        In May 2010, our Board of Directors adopted a revised compensation program for our non-employee directors, or the "Compensation Program for Non-Employee Directors." Pursuant to the Compensation Program for Non-Employee Directors, each non-employee director receives:

        Initial Restricted Stock Unit Award:    Upon his or her first election or appointment as a member of our Board of Directors, a non-employee director will receive a restricted stock unit award under the 2008 EIP representing the right to receive that number of shares of BioTelemetry Common Stock determined by dividing $80,000 by the fair market value of a share of BioTelemetry Common Stock on the award date.

        Annual Retainer:    At the individual's election, each non-employee director will receive either a cash award of $50,000 (paid in quarterly installments over the calendar year) or a restricted stock unit

15

Table of Contents

award equal to 100% of the amount of the retainer that the director elects to have converted divided by the fair market value of the BioTelemetry Common Stock on the award date. The restricted stock unit will be awarded under the 2008 EIP as of the date of the annual meeting of the Company's stockholders and will vest in four successive quarters following the award date and will be distributed in the form of common stock on the earliest to occur of the non-employee director's death, disability, separation from service or a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company within the meaning of such term under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

        Annual Restricted Stock Unit Award:    Each non-employee director will receive a restricted stock unit award under the 2008 EIP as of the date of the annual meeting of the Company's stockholders. The number of shares will be determined by dividing $80,000 by the fair market value of the stock on the award date. The restricted stock units will vest in four successive quarters following the award date and will be distributed in the form of common stock on the earliest to occur of the non-employee director's death, disability, separation from service or a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company within the meaning of such term under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

        Independent Chairman Retainer:    A non-employee director serving in the role as Chairman of the Board may elect to receive an additional retainer of $50,000 (the "Chairman Retainer"), in the form of either cash (paid in 4 quarterly installments over the calendar year as of the last day of each calendar quarter beginning with the first calendar quarter following the date of the annual meeting) or a restricted stock unit award equal to 100% of the amount of the Chairman Retainer the Chairman elects to have converted into a restricted stock unit award divided by the fair market value of common stock as of the date the restricted stock units are granted. Any fractional share will be rounded up to the next whole share of common stock. The restricted stock units will vest proportionally over the four successive quarters following the award date. In the event of the occurrence of the director's death, "disability" (within the meaning of such term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(C)), "separation from service" (within the meaning of such term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i)) or a 409A change in control event prior to the full vesting date, all outstanding restricted stock units shall be fully vested. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the vested restricted stock units will not be distributed in the form of common stock until the earliest to occur of the lead director's death, disability, separation from service or a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company within the meaning of such term under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

        Each Non-Employee Director may irrevocably elect to receive his or her Committee Chairperson or Committee Member Retainer in the form of cash or a Restricted Stock Unit in the same manner, upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions as his or her election with respect to his or her Retainer Amount described above.

Table of Contents

        In addition to the foregoing, we have reimbursed, and will continue to reimburse, our non-employee directors for their travel, lodging and other reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of our Board of Directors and committees of our Board of Directors.

        In July 2014, the Board further amended its compensation program to provide administrative flexibility in setting vesting schedules for grants issued under the program, and provides terms for the grant of discretionary awards under the program. All RSU grants, including those in lieu of cash compensation, currently have a 100% retention requirement since shares are not delivered until Board service terminates. As such, the Board has determined that establishing stock ownership guidelines for Board members are not necessary.

        The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation that we paid or awarded during the year ended December 31, 2014 to each of our non-employee directors. Mr. Capper, our Chief Executive Officer, does not receive any additional compensation for serving on our Board of Directors.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Executive Summary

        In this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we address the compensation provided to our named executive officers listed below under "Our Named Executive Officers," the goals that we seek to achieve through our executive compensation program and other important factors underlying our compensation practices and policies.

21

---

Table of Contents

        2014 was a positive year for us. We achieved and, in certain instances, exceeded our pre-established performance goals, with revenues of $166.6 million and adjusted EBITDA of $20.5 million, a 21% increase. We were also able to achieve numerous crucial operational and performance objectives, including an increase in patient volume, development of and progress in certain specific sales initiatives, and progress in the area of new product development and existing product enhancement. Further, we completed the acquisitions of MedNet Healthcare Technologies, Inc., the patient services business of Biomedical Systems Corporation and RadCore LLC. We announced the reinstatement of Cigna's coverage of MCOT ^TM and also consolidated and expanded the Company's debt capacity. Moreover, in 2014 we doubled the number of patients we service.

        Our compensation program is generally designed to provide performance-oriented incentives that fairly compensate our executive officers and enable us to attract, retain and motivate executives with outstanding ability and potential. Our compensation program consists of both short-term and long-term components, including cash and equity-based compensation, and is intended to reward consistent performance that meets or exceeds formally established performance goals and objectives. Our Compensation Committee and senior management are focused on providing an appropriate mix of short-term and long-term incentives. Our compensation program provides long-term incentives to ensure that our executives continue in employment with us and directly tie executive compensation to generation of shareholder value. For 2014, we revised our Management Incentive Plan to include corporate goals and objectives relating to revenue, and adjusted EBITDA growth, and we overlay management by objective (MBO) goals that are intended to encourage our executives to build and maintain an infrastructure that supports our growth and increases revenues.

Our Named Executive Officers

        For the year ended December 31, 2014, our named executive officers were Messrs. Capper, Geldart, Ferola and Wisniewski and Ms. Getz.

Compensation Philosophy and Components of Executive Compensation

        Our Compensation Committee is composed entirely of independent directors. Our Compensation Committee administers our executive compensation program.

        The general duties of the Compensation Committee include:

•

Administration of the Company's annual incentive, equity compensation and long term incentive plans;



•

Review and recommendation of major compensation plans for approval by the Board of Directors;



•

Recommendation of compensation for the President and Chief Executive Officer for approval by the independent members of our Board of Directors; and



•

Approval of compensation decisions relating to all executive officers.

        Our Compensation Committee believes that our executive compensation program should include both short-term and long-term components, including cash and equity-based compensation, and should reward consistent performance that meets or exceeds expectations. In general, we tie compensation to the achievement of specific corporate and individual goals. Determinations about corporate performance are based on achievement of specific, pre-determined objectives. Individual performance against goals are more subjective and are based on the judgments made at the discretion of our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors, with input from our Chief Executive Officer, except as it relates to his own compensation. For our executive officers, other than himself, our Chief Executive Officer evaluates the performance of the executive officers on an annual basis and makes

22

---

Table of Contents

recommendations to our Compensation Committee with respect to annual salary adjustments, bonuses and annual equity awards. These recommendations are reviewed by our Compensation Committee on an aggregated basis so that our Compensation Committee can evaluate the compensation paid to our executives on a total compensation basis. While our Compensation Committee reviews the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer with respect to executive officers other than himself, our Compensation Committee exercises its own discretion in approving salary adjustments and discretionary cash and equity awards for all executives and communicates its final approval to our Board of Directors.

        We believe our approach to goal setting, setting of targets with payouts at multiple levels of performance, and evaluation of performance results assist in mitigating excessive risk-taking that could harm our value or reward poor judgment by our executives. The features of these practices and programs also reflect sound risk management practices. We believe we have allocated our compensation among base salary and short and long-term compensation target opportunities in such a way as to not encourage excessive risk-taking. This is based on our belief that applying Company-wide metrics encourages decision making that is in the best long-term interests of the company and our stockholders. In addition, we believe that the mix of equity award instruments used under our long-term incentive program, including both stock options and full value awards (i.e., restricted stock units), in each case, that vest over a multi-year period also mitigates risk and properly accounts for the time horizon of risk.

Benchmarking and Other Analysis

        Currently, our Compensation Committee charter requires our Compensation Committee to review and make recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding the compensation to be paid to our Chief Executive Officer and approve compensation for all other executive officers. Historically, our Compensation Committee negotiated compensation with our Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Executive Officer consulted with our Board of Directors regarding the compensation of our other named executive officers.

        Prior to officer compensation being established for 2014, the Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Pearl Meyer & Partners LLP, the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant ("PM&P"), evaluated the group of peer companies, and determined the peer group listed below provided an adequate basis to evaluate comparative positions. Generally, salaries and initial stock grants for our executive officers have been negotiated at the time of hire, taking into account the salaries and equity awards made to similarly situated executives at the companies in our peer group, as well as the executive's experience in the position and in the industry generally. Thereafter, salaries are subject to an annual review process and the adequacy of equity awards are reviewed annually.

        The companies in our peer group included the following 15 publicly traded companies in the medical products and services sector, with revenues between $60 million and $300 million (with median revenues of $120 million), classifications by Standard and Poor's ("S&P") as Health Care Equipment, Health Care Services or Life Sciences Tools & Services, equity market capitalizations between

23

Table of Contents

$90 million and $625 million (with a median of $226 million), and, to the extent possible, companies considered part of the "cardio" sector of the Med Tech industry.

        Prior to officer compensation being established for 2015, the Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Towers Watson & Co., the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant ("Towers Watson"), evaluated the group of peer companies, and determined the peer group listed provided an adequate basis to evaluate comparative positions. Four companies were removed from the prior peer set; Bioclinica, Inc., Epocrates, Inc., Palomar Med Technologies, Inc., and Solta Medical, Inc., and six companies were added; Alphatec Holdings, Inc., ATRION Corp., Endologix, Inc., Landaur, Inc., LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. and PDI, Inc.

        To achieve its objectives for our executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee evaluates our executive compensation program with the goal of setting compensation at levels the Compensation Committee believes are competitive with those of other similarly situated companies that compete with us for executive talent and has periodically engaged Towers Watson to provide additional assurance that the Company's executive compensation programs are reasonable and consistent with its objectives. Towers Watson reports directly to the Compensation Committee, periodically participates in committee meetings, and advises the Compensation Committee with respect to compensation trends and best practices, plan design and the reasonableness of individual compensation awards. Although the Compensation Committee reviews the compensation practices of our peer companies as described above, the Compensation Committee does not adhere to strict formulas or survey data to determine the mix of compensation elements. Instead, as described below, the Compensation Committee considers various factors in exercising its discretion to determine compensation, including the experience, responsibilities and performance of each of our executive officers, as well as our overall financial performance. Our Compensation Committee believes this flexibility is particularly important in designing compensation arrangements to attract and retain executives in the period of uncertainty that the company is currently facing.

Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant

        Our Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain or replace, as necessary, compensation consultants to provide it with independent advice. The Compensation Committee has engaged Towers Watson as its independent compensation consultant to advise it on executive and non-employee director compensation matters. This selection was made without the input or influence of management. Under the terms of its agreement with the Compensation Committee, Towers Watson will not provide any other services to the Company, unless directed to do so by the Compensation Committee. During fiscal year 2014, Towers Watson provided no services to the Company other than to advise the Compensation Committee on executive and non-employee director compensation issues. In addition, at the end of fiscal year 2014, the Compensation Committee conducted a formal evaluation of

the independence of Towers Watson and, based on this review, did not identify any conflict of interest raised by the work Towers Watson performed in fiscal year 2014.

Elements of Executive Compensation

        The compensation program for our executive officers has consisted principally of base salary, short-term cash incentives and long-term incentives in the form of equity grants.

Base Salary

        Generally, base salaries for our executives are established based on the scope of their responsibilities and individual experience, taking into account our informal understanding of competitive market compensation paid by other companies for similar positions within our industry. Base salaries are typically reviewed annually taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and achievement. Increases may be determined based upon specific performance related objectives or goals, as well as an overall evaluation of performance. Guidelines for annual merit increases are determined based upon achievement of company objectives for the year, as well as economic, industry and market factors.

        We believe, based on our recruiting efforts and general experience in our industry, that the base salary levels of our named executive officers are commensurate with the general salary levels for similar positions in medical device and services companies of similar size and stage of development and operations. The Compensation Committee has agreed with CEO recommendations to maintain the 2015 salaries for the Named Executive Officers, at 2014 levels.

        The salaries in effect for 2013, 2014 and 2015 are set forth below.

Short-Term Incentive Program

        We maintain our Management Incentive Plan ("MIP") to reward executives with annual cash bonuses for achievement of certain corporate performance objectives and individual objectives. The MIP operates on a calendar year schedule.

        While all employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the MIP, our Compensation Committee has the authority to designate which employees will participate in the MIP in any given year. Unless specifically exempted, an employee must be employed by us by October 1st of any given year to be eligible to participate in the MIP for the calendar year. In addition, unless specifically exempted, an eligible employee must be actively employed by us on the date bonuses are paid under the MIP to receive a payment. In general, bonuses under the MIP are paid out within the first two and one-half months following year end.

25

Table of Contents

        On an annual basis, our Compensation Committee selects the individual and corporate performance goals for the upcoming year and determines how the achievement of those goals will be measured. Each participant in the MIP is assigned a specific target award, based on his or her role and competitive market practice. The target award reflects the award to be paid for meeting predefined corporate and individual performance goals. Target awards are defined as a percentage of base salary. For 2014, the Compensation Committee determined that actual awards under the MIP could range from 0% to 200% of target, depending on performance. Within the formula under the MIP, our Compensation Committee has the discretion to take into account circumstances that may have affected performance as to any particular participant. Our Compensation Committee determined that these goals are appropriate in order to continue to advance the Company's overall strategic objectives and to enhance stockholder value.

        As established by our Compensation Committee, for our Named Executive Officers, the target awards for 2014 and the target award opportunity for 2015 under the MIP, expressed as a percentage of each person's base salary, were as follows

        For 2014 and 2015, our Compensation Committee has determined that the goals under the MIP were and will be weighted on the corporate performance metrics and team objectives as follows:

        For purposes of our MIP, revenue means the Company's reported consolidated revenue for the applicable year, and Adjusted EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and excludes certain nonrecurring charges and stock compensation expense for the applicable year. Our Compensation Committee determined that the above criteria were appropriate corporate performance objectives because they believe that these metrics are linked to top line growth and the creation of stockholder value. For 2014, the Compensation Committee set the MIP target performance levels at $163.4 million for revenue and $20.3 million for adjusted EBITDA. The Team Objectives associated with the 2014 MIP included executing a hospital sales strategy, executing research division sales and commercializing new businesses such as INR business.

        In February 2015, our Compensation Committee evaluated the level of achievement of the Company's financial goals and the individual performance objectives relating to operational commitments relative to the executive officer's position (taking into account the weighting described above together with Mr. Capper's recommendations). In making its decision to approve 2014 MIP awards at 85% of target, our Compensation Committee acknowledged the management team's achievement of certain pre-established incentive plan goals, considered the overall performance of the Company of 2014 with revenue of $166.6 million and adjusted EBITDA of $20.5 million, and took into account recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also considered the level of contribution made by each Named Executive Officer with respect to the

26

Table of Contents

achievement of these goals based on the scope of their responsibilities with the Company, taking into account recommendations from Mr. Capper.

        The target awarded was only 85% with a higher LTI award as more fully described below.

Long-Term Incentive Programs

Equity Compensation Plans

        Prior to our initial public offering, we granted equity awards primarily through our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2003 Plan"), which was adopted by our Board of Directors and stockholders to permit the grant of stock options, stock bonuses, and restricted stock to our officers, directors, employees and consultants. In connection with our initial public offering in 2008, our Board of Directors adopted new equity compensation plans. Specifically, our Board of Directors adopted the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2008 EIP"), and the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). Each of the new plans became effective on March 18, 2008, upon the effectiveness of our initial public offering. The 2008 EIP replaced the 2003 Plan immediately following our initial public offering and affords our Compensation Committee much greater flexibility in making a wide variety of equity awards. The ESPP is available to all executive officers on the same basis as our other employees.

        Our 2008 EIP authorizes us to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock awards, performance cash awards and other stock-based awards. To date, we have granted only stock options and restricted stock units under the 2008 EIP. All stock options granted to our employees and directors were granted with an exercise price that was no less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date such options were granted. Prior to January 2009, all option grants typically vested over four years, with one quarter of the shares subject to the stock option vesting on the one year anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and the remaining shares vesting in equal monthly installments thereafter over three years. Beginning in January 2009, the Compensation Committee determined to modify the vesting schedule for new grants so that, as a general matter, grants would vest in annual 25% increments over a four year period beginning with the first anniversary of the date of grant. Our Compensation Committee determined that this vesting schedule better achieved the goal of our Compensation Committee to encourage retention and dedication to the success of the Company over a longer time horizon (since they vest only at the end of each anniversary year, and not monthly). All options have a ten-year term (unless terminated earlier due to termination of service with the Company). Additional information regarding accelerated vesting upon or following a change in control is discussed below under "Potential Payments Upon Termination Or Change In Control."

Long Term Incentive Plan

        In October 2008, our Board of Directors adopted a Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") to reward and incentivize executives with stock option and restricted stock unit grants under our 2008 EIP. Grants under the LTIP are made by the Compensation Committee by taking into account the level of achievement of pre-established performance objectives, the Company's overall performance, as well as recommendations received from our Chief Executive Officer. The LTIP is effective for the issuance of

27

---

Table of Contents

grants based on performance evaluations and anticipated future performance. The objectives of the LTIP are to drive growth in stockholder value, reward key employees for demonstrated value creation, provide a retention incentive for key employees, build equity ownership among the executive team, and focus executives on multi-year operating performance. We believe that, by providing our executives the opportunity to increase their ownership of our stock, the best interests of stockholders and executives will be better aligned and we will encourage long-term performance. Stock awards enable our executive officers to participate in any increase in stockholder value and personally participate in the risks of business setbacks. It is our belief that long-term incentives motivate and reward successful long-term value creation and the achievement of financial goals for the Company and our stockholders, as well as retain top executive talent.

        At the beginning of each calendar year, awards will be granted following the Compensation Committee's evaluation of performance objective achievement, Company performance, and Chief Executive Officer recommendations. For the 2014 performance year, these LTIP targets were revenue of $163.4 million and adjusted EBITDA of $20.3 million (the same targets as were set for the MIP), as well as team objectives and recommendations received from our CEO for our executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. One-half of this adjusted dollar value will be converted into a stock option award (based on the Black- Scholes value of the option at the time of grant) with a ten-year term and vest at the rate of 25% per year commencing on December 31^st and on each of the first, second and third anniversaries thereafter. One-half of the adjusted dollar value will be converted into a restricted stock unit award (based on the closing stock price on the date of grant). The restricted stock unit award will vest in full on the third anniversary of the date of grant.

        All executive officers and other employees selected by our Compensation Committee are eligible to receive awards under the LTIP. The participants in the LTIP will receive awards based on each individual's target dollar value, which is determined by our Compensation Committee. For our named executive officers, the individual LTIP target dollar values approved by our Compensation Committee for fiscal 2014 performance, expressed as a percentage of each person's base salary, were as follows:

        In 2014, our Compensation Committee awarded at 100% of the target equity payout to executives under the LTIP based on 2013 results, and in 2015 our Compensation Committee awarded at 140% of target equity payout to executives under the LTIP based on 2014 results. For 2014, the Compensation Committee set the MIP target performance levels at $163.4 million for revenue and $20.3 million for adjusted EBITDA. These amounts are also reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below.

Table of Contents

        For our named executive officers, the individual LTIP target dollar values approved by our Compensation Committee under the LTIP for 2015 performance, expressed as a percentage of each person's base salary, are as follows:

Performance-Based Award

        In 2014, the Compensation Committee also approved a special, one-time, performance-based equity award under the 2008 EIP to all LTIP participants, including our Named Executive Officers. Shares underlying this one-time performance award will vest based upon the following goals:

•

50% of the shares underlying the award will be earned if the Company's quarterly revenues exceed $66.0 million for two consecutive quarters at any time between the grant date and the end of the first quarter of 2017;



•

50% of the shares underlying the award will be earned if the Company's quarterly adjusted EBITDA exceeds $9.5 million for two consecutive quarters at any time between the grant date and the end of the first quarter of 2017;



•

The Company's net debt as of each quarter-end must be less than three times its annualized EBITDA (quarterly EBITDA multiplied by 4) in order for either goal to be earned in a particular quarter;



•

The achievement of a goal must be certified by the Compensation Committee over two consecutive quarters. If a goal is not reached by the end of the first quarter of 2017, the award is forfeited.

Employment Agreements

Capper Agreement

        On June 15, 2010, we entered into an employment agreement with Joseph H. Capper, which provides that he will serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The agreement was effective on June 15, 2010 and continues until terminated in accordance with its terms.

        Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. Capper is entitled to a minimum base salary of $515,000. Mr. Capper also received a bonus payment of $150,000 in consideration of the incentive and equity compensation Mr. Capper forfeited from his prior employer. Beginning with the 2010 calendar year, Mr. Capper was eligible to participate in the MIP and LTIP in accordance with the terms of those plans. Mr. Capper's target annual bonus opportunity under the MIP is 100% of his base salary and Mr. Capper's target dollar value for purposes of the LTIP is 200% of base salary.

Table of Contents

        Contemporaneously with his entry into the Employment Agreement, Mr. Capper received a restricted stock unit award with respect to 60,000 shares of BioTelemetry Common Stock and a stock option award to purchase 500,000 shares BioTelemetry Common Stock.

        The Employment Agreement provides that in the event the Company terminates Mr. Capper without "cause" or Mr. Capper resigns for "good reason" (each as defined in the Employment Agreement), it will pay to Mr. Capper severance benefits that consist of the following: (i) base salary and accrued and unused vacation earned through the date of his termination, and (ii) an amount equal to two times his base salary at the rate in effect at the time of termination plus two times his on-target annual performance incentive bonus in effect for the year of termination, such amount to be paid in 24 monthly installments. Mr. Capper will also be eligible for continued participation in the Company's medical, dental and vision plans for a period of up to 24 months. Mr. Capper's receipt of the amount described in clause (ii) above and the continued participation in the Company's medical, dental and vision plans are contingent upon his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in the form attached to the Employment Agreement.

        Mr. Capper's employment with the Company is at will and may be terminated by the Company at any time and for any reason, or for no reason. Upon any termination by the Company, Mr. Capper agrees to resign all positions, including as an officer and, if applicable, as a director or member of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof. See the description under "Severance and Change in Control Benefits" and "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" below for further information regarding severance benefits under Mr. Capper's employment agreement.

        As a condition of Mr. Capper's employment as our President and Chief Executive Officer, he executed and must abide by our Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Capper will be subject to non-competition restrictions for the term of his employment and during any period thereafter in which he is receiving severance benefits.

Getz, Geldart, Wisniewski and Ferola Agreements

        Pursuant to the terms of the applicable Employment Agreements, Ms. Getz and Messrs. Geldart, Wisniewski and Ferola are entitled to a base salary, bonus payment, and incentive & equity compensation. Ms. Getz and Messrs. Geldart, Wisniewski and Ferola were also eligible to participate in the MIP and LTIP in accordance with the terms of those plans.

        The agreements provide severance and change in control benefits upon termination of the executives' employment by us without cause or by the executives for good reason. See the description under "Severance and Change in Control Benefits" and "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" below for further information regarding severance benefits under the employment agreements.

        As a condition of their employment with us, each executive must execute and abide by our Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. Under the employment agreements, each executive will be subject to non-competition restrictions for the term of his employment and during any period thereafter in which he is receiving severance benefits.

        Messrs. Ferola, Wisniewski and Geldart and Ms. Getz's employment with us is at will and may be terminated by us at any time and for any reason, or for no reason. Upon any termination by us, each executive agrees to resign all positions, including as an officer and, if applicable, as a director or member of the board or any committee thereof.

Severance and Change in Control Benefits

        The employment agreements for each of our named executive officers provide for payments in the event that the executive is terminated by us without cause or by the executive for good reason, in each

case, without regard to whether the termination occurs in the context of a change in control. With the exception of Mr. Capper, if the executive's employment is terminated by us without cause or by the executive for good reason in connection with a change in control, all of the executive's equity awards will immediately accelerate and become fully vested. All of Mr. Capper's equity awards will immediately accelerate and become fully vested upon a change in control without regard to a termination of employment (unless he is terminated for cause). Payments and benefits to Messrs. Capper, Ferola, Geldart and Wisniewski and Ms. Getz will be modified to avoid any excise tax under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent the modification would result in a greater net after-tax benefit to the executive. We believe these severance and change in control benefits are an essential element of our overall executive compensation package. The severance and change in control benefits were also determined through comparison to companies in our peer group.

        See "Potential Payments Upon Termination Or Change In Control" below for further information regarding the payments and benefits under the employment agreements.

Other Compensation

        In addition, consistent with our compensation philosophy, we intend to continue to maintain broad based retirement and welfare employee benefit programs for all of our employees, in which our named executive officers are also eligible to participate. However, our Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may in the future revise, amend or add to the benefits of any executive officer if it deems it advisable. In October 2013, effective January 1, 2014, our Compensation Committee approved a matching contribution under our 401(k) retirement plan of 100% on the first 3% of compensation deferred under the plan and 50% on the next 2% of compensation deferred under the plan (up to the applicable statutory limits under the Internal Revenue Code).

Stock Retention Requirements

        At the October 23, 2014 Compensation Committee meeting, the Committee adopted a Stock Ownership and Holding Policy applicable to the CEO, CFO, COO and Senior Vice Presidents, with the following ownership guidelines. The Policy does not apply to options or stock-awards with performance-contingent vesting.

Stock Option Pricing and Timing

        Our Compensation Committee has no formal policy on the timing of stock option or restricted stock unit grants. Historically, our Compensation Committee makes such grants in the first quarter of each calendar year. The exercise price is the closing price of the underlying BioTelemetry common stock on the grant date. If an executive officer of BioTelemetry is hired after the time the Company usually makes grants, management may recommend to our Compensation Committee that the officer receive equity compensation. We do not have any program, plan or obligation that requires us to grant equity compensation to executive officers on specified dates and we have not made equity grants in connection with the release or withholding of material non-public information. Authority to make equity grants to executive officers rests with our Compensation Committee (except with respect to grants made to our Chief Executive Officer, which must be approved by our Board of Directors), based on recommendations from our Compensation Committee, although our Compensation Committee does consider the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer for executive officers other than himself.

Deductibility of Compensation under Section 162(m)

        Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits our deduction for federal income tax purposes to not more than $1 million of compensation paid to certain executive officers in a calendar year. Compensation above $1 million may be deducted if it is "performance-based compensation." The Compensation Committee has not yet established a policy for determining which forms of incentive compensation awarded to our executive officers will be designed to qualify as "performance-based compensation." To maintain flexibility in compensating our executive officers in a manner designed to promote our objectives, our Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy that requires all compensation to be deductible. However, our Compensation Committee intends to evaluate the effects of the compensation limits of Section 162(m) on any compensation it proposes to grant, and our Compensation Committee intends to provide future compensation in a manner consistent with our best interests and those of our stockholders.

Risk Assessment of the Compensation Programs

        The Compensation Committee considers potential risks when reviewing and approving compensation programs. We have designed our compensation programs, including our incentive compensation plans, with specific features to address potential risks while rewarding employees for achieving long-term financial and strategic objectives through prudent business judgment and appropriate risk taking. The following elements have been incorporated in our programs available for our executive officers:

•

A Balanced Mix of Compensation Components—The target compensation mix for our executive officers is composed of salary, annual cash incentives and long-term equity incentives, representing a mix that is not overly weighted toward short-term cash incentives.



•

Multiple Performance Factors—Our incentive compensation plans use both company-wide metrics and individual performance, which encourage focus on the achievement of objectives for the overall benefit of the company.



•

The annual cash incentive is dependent on multiple performance metrics including volume and revenue as well as individual goals related to specific strategic or operational objectives.



•

The long-term incentives are equity-based and awarded if certain earnings per share goals are met. These incentives typically have a minimum of 3-year vesting to complement our annual cash based incentives.



•

Capped Incentive Awards—Annual incentive awards capped at 200% of target.

        Additionally, the Compensation Committee considered an assessment of compensation-related risks for all of our employees. Based on this assessment, the Committee concluded that our compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on BioTelemetry. In making this evaluation, the Committee reviewed the key design elements of our compensation programs in relation to industry norms as well as the means by which any potential risks may be mitigated, such as through our internal controls and oversight by management and the Board of Directors.

Pension Benefits

        None of our named executive officers participate in or have account balances in qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans sponsored by us. Our Compensation Committee may elect to adopt qualified or non-qualified benefit plans in the future if it determines that doing so is in the Company's best interests.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

        None of our named executive officers participate in or have account balances in nonqualified defined contribution plans or other nonqualified deferred compensation plans maintained by us. Our Compensation Committee may elect to provide our officers and other employees with non-qualified defined contribution or other nonqualified deferred compensation benefits in the future if it determines that doing so is in the Company's best interests.

Potential Payments Upon Termination Or Change In Control

        In this section, we describe payments that may be made to our named executive officers upon several events of termination, including termination in connection with a change in control. The payment amounts discussed and in the table below reflect the payments that would have been due to the named executive officers had the termination or change in control event occurred on December 31, 2014. The information in this section does not include information relating to payments and benefits provided on a nondiscriminatory basis to salaried employees generally upon termination of employment. On December 31, 2014, the last reported sale price of BioTelemetry Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market was $10.03 per share. Actual amounts payable would vary based on the date of the named executive officer's termination of employment and can only be finally determined at that time.

        Unless specified otherwise, the information in this section is based upon the terms of the (i) Employment Agreement between us and Mr. Capper, dated June 15, 2010, (ii) Employment Agreement between us and Ms. Getz, dated January 15, 2010, (iii) Employment Agreement between us and Michael Geldart, dated June 11, 2012, (iv) Employment Agreement between us and Peter Ferola, dated February 7, 2011 and (v) Employment Agreement between us and Daniel Wisniewski, dated December 7, 2010 (collectively, the "Agreements").

36

Table of Contents

        The Agreements provide each of our Named Executive Officers severance payments and benefits upon termination of employment by us without cause or by the executives for good reason. Mr. Capper is entitled to a cash severance payment equal to the sum of (i) 2x his respective annual base salaries as of the last day of active employment and (ii) 2x his on-target annual performance incentive bonus in effect at the time of termination. With the exception of Mr. Capper, the other named executive officers are entitled to a cash severance payment equal to the sum of (i) 1x their annual base salaries as of the last day of active employment and (ii) 1x their on-target annual performance incentive bonus in effect at the time of his termination.

        In addition, we will continue to provide to each of our named executive officers continued participation in our medical, dental and vision plans at the same premium rates and cost sharing as may be charged from time to time for employees generally for a specified period of time. Specifically, Mr. Capper will receive continued coverage for twenty-four months following the applicable date of termination and the other executives will have continued coverage for twelve months following the applicable date of termination.

        The foregoing severance payments and benefits payable upon termination of employment to each named executive officer are conditioned on the execution of a written waiver and release of claims. In addition, for all of our named executive officers, such payments and benefits are consideration for the restrictive covenants set forth in the Agreements. Specifically, during the term of each executive's employment with us and during any period thereafter in which severance payments or benefits are paid, the executive may not compete with us (as defined in the Agreement).

        The Agreements also provide each named executive officer (with the exception of Mr. Capper) with accelerated vesting of their equity awards in connection with termination of employment following a change in control. Specifically, if the executive's employment is terminated by us without cause or by the executive for good reason within thirty days before or twelve months after a change in control, all equity awards will immediately accelerate and become fully vested. Mr. Capper's equity awards will immediately accelerate and become fully vested upon a change in control without regard to termination of his employment (unless he is terminated for cause).

        In the event any payment or benefit to the other executive officers would constitute an excess parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, the affected executive will be entitled to the greater of (on a net after-tax basis): (i) the largest amount of the payment that would result in no portion of the payment or benefit being subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, or (ii) the entire payment or benefit without any reduction to avoid the excise tax.

        The Agreements do not provide any severance payments or benefits upon a termination by us for cause, by the executive without good reason, or on account of the executive's disability or death. The executive would be entitled only to base salary and unused vacation benefits earned through the date of the executive's termination of employment and the amount of any vested benefits under our benefit plans. We will have no further obligations to the executive under the Agreements, except as provided by law.

        A termination for cause under the Agreements would generally result from an executive's: (i) willful and repeated failure to satisfactorily perform his job duties, (ii) willful commission of an act that materially injures our business, (iii) willful refusal or failure to follow lawful and reasonable directions of our Board of Directors, (iv) conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, any felony involving moral turpitude, (v) engagement or in any manner participation in any activity which is directly competitive with or injurious to us or any of our affiliates or which violates any restrictive covenants applicable to the executive, (vi) commission of any fraud against us, and our affiliates, employees, agents or customers or use or intentional appropriation for the executive's personal use or

benefit of any company funds or property not authorized by our Board of Directors to be so used or appropriated, or (vii) material breach of or willful failure to comply with our policies, including, but not limited to, equal employment opportunity or harassment policies, insider trading policies, code of ethics or conflict of interest policies, non-disclosure and confidentiality policies, travel and expense policies, workplace violence policies, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance policies, policies governing preparation and approval of financial statements, and/or policies governing the making of financial commitments on our behalf.

        Good reason under the Agreements generally exists if, without the executive's consent, there is: (i) a change in the executive's title that is accompanied by a material reduction in the executive's duties, authority or responsibilities relative to the executive's duties, authority or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction, (ii) a relocation of the executive's principal business location to a point that requires a one-way increase of the executive's commuting distance of more than fifty miles, (iii) a material reduction of the executive's base salary, or (iv) a failure on our part to obtain the agreement from any successor to assume or agree to perform our obligations under the Agreements.

        Under the Agreements, a change in control would be deemed to have occurred if (i) we consolidate or merge with and into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization occurs, in which our capital stock immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, represents less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization, (ii) we are party to any transaction, or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of our voting power is transferred (except any consolidation or merger effected exclusively to change our domicile or any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which we receive cash or our indebtedness is canceled), or (iii) we sell, lease, license or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. The Agreements do not provide for any tax gross-up compensation for excise taxes.

PROPOSAL TWO:
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

        The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2015 and has further directed that management submit the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the stockholders at the annual meeting. Ernst & Young LLP has audited the Company's financial statements since 2004. Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the annual meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

        Neither our Bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of Ernst & Young LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

        The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the annual meeting will be required to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP. Abstentions will be counted toward the tabulation of votes cast on proposals presented to the stockholders and will have the same effect as negative votes.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

        In 2014, the Company entered into an engagement agreement with Ernst & Young LLP, which sets forth the terms by which Ernst & Young LLP will perform audit services for the Company.

        The following table represents aggregate fees billed to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, by Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. All fees described below were approved by the Audit Committee.

PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

        The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP. The policies generally pre- approve specified services in the defined categories of audit services, audit- related services and tax services up to specified amounts. Pre-approval may also be given as part of the Audit Committee's approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm or on an individual explicit case-by-case basis before the independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to provide each service. The pre-approval of services may be delegated to one or more of the Audit Committee's members, but the decision must be reported to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. 100% of the independent registered public accounting firm's fees were pre-approved.

        The Audit Committee has determined that the rendering of the services other than audit services by Ernst & Young LLP is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF
ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2015.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

RELATED-PERSON TRANSACTIONS POLICY AND PROCEDURES

        We have adopted a written Related-Person Transactions Policy that sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of "related-persons transactions." For purposes of our policy only, a "related-person transaction" is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we and any "related person" are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee, director, consultant or similar capacity by a related person are not covered by this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director or a holder of more than five percent of BioTelemetry common stock, including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.

        Under the policy, where a transaction has been identified as a related-person transaction, management must present information regarding the proposed related- person transaction to our Audit Committee (or, where review by our Audit Committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our Board of Directors) for review. The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the direct and indirect interests of the related persons, the benefits of the transaction to us and whether any alternative transactions are available. To identify related-person transactions in advance, we rely on information supplied by our executive officers, directors and certain significant stockholders. In considering related-person transactions, our Audit Committee takes into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to:

•

the risks, costs and benefits to us;



•

the impact on a director's independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;



•

the terms of the transaction;



•

the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and



•

the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from our employees generally.

Table of Contents

        In the event a director has an interest in the proposed transaction, the director must recuse himself or herself from the deliberations and approval. Our policy requires that, in reviewing a related-person transaction, our Audit Committee must consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of us and our stockholders, as our Audit Committee determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion. We did not previously have a formal policy concerning transactions with related persons.

        We are not aware of any transaction required to be reported as a related- person transaction since January 1, 2013 where such policies and procedures did not require review, approval or ratification or where such policies and procedures were not followed.

Stockholder Proposals Due For Next Year's Annual Meeting

        Stockholders who wish to include proposals in the proxy statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting must submit such proposals in accordance with our Bylaws and regulations adopted by the SEC. To be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting, such stockholder proposals must be submitted in writing by November 25, 2015. In addition, stockholders may wish to have a proposal presented at the 2016 Annual Meeting but not to have such proposal included in the proxy statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting. Pursuant to our Bylaws, notice must be received by us between December 31, 2015 and January 30, 2016. Any stockholder proposals must be submitted to BioTelemetry's Secretary at 1000 Cedar Hollow Road, Suite 102, Malvern, PA 19355. You should submit any proposal by a method that permits you to prove the date of delivery to us.

        Your notice to the Secretary shall set forth: (A) your name and address, and the class and number of shares of BioTelemetry Common Stock, which you beneficially own; (B) whether you intend to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to the holders of at least the number of shares of the Company necessary to carry the proposal, or in the case of a nomination for director, a sufficient number of shares of the Company necessary to elect such nominee; (C) as to each person whom you propose to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-4(d) thereunder (including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and (D) as to any other business that you propose to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

        Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

        Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and representatives of these persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to directors, executive officers

and greater than 10% stockholders were complied with on a timely basis for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Householding of Proxy Materials

        The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

        This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are BioTelemetry stockholders will be "householding" our proxy materials. A single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be "householding" communications to your address, "householding" will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in "householding" and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your broker, or direct your written request to BioTelemetry, Inc., Peter Ferola, Secretary, 1000 Cedar Hollow Road, Suite 102, Malvern, PA 19355 or contact Peter Ferola at (610) 729-0212. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their addresses and would like to request "householding" of their communications should contact their brokers.

Other Business At Our Annual Meeting

        Our Board is not aware of any business which properly may be presented for action at our meeting other than the matters set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting. Should any other matter requiring a vote of the shareholders properly arise, the enclosed proxy gives discretionary authority to the persons named in the proxy to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

By order of the Board of Directors,
BioTelemetry, Inc.

Peter Ferola
